Preserving, canning, and freezing

July bounty

Last Saturday, I got up early and went to pick blackberries at a local farm. It is nearing the end of the season so I really had to work for my bounty. I was able to crawl around and I found some really huge berries that others had missed. I ended up . . . → Read More: Preserving, canning, and freezing

Gelato with New Mexico Strawberries

By Eliot, on June 29th, 2010%

Since I was lucky enough to buy fresh strawberries at the Dixon Farmers’ Market, I tried another new strawberry gelato recipe. I think this recipe will serve as my base for gelato from now on. I took the Pomegranate/Green Tea recipe (see June 11’s post) and just added the pureed strawberries. It was quite good, . . . → Read More: Gelato with New Mexico Strawberries

Eating In Locally–Fried Eggs with Soy Sauce

By Eliot, on June 16th, 2010%

I am a Top Chef addict and was so disappointed that Susan Feniger went home. (Don’t spoil my fun, I have them all DVRed and am just watching them now. I am a little behind, BUT I don’t want to know the winner yet.) What an earth mother and life lover she is! I just . . . → Read More: Eating In Locally–Fried Eggs with Soy Sauce

Eating Out Locally

By Eliot, on June 15th, 2010%

We were fortunate enough to visit Local Table, a restaurant in Tulsa, OK, before the Anthony Bourdain extravaganza this weekend. They seem to have a rotating menu that revolves around what they can obtain from the local farmers’ market.

This place has a really casual vibe, but a really eclectic crowd. Sitting near us were . . . → Read More: Eating Out Locally

Lasagna from scratch, locally

By Eliot, on June 7th, 2010%

Step 1: Start the sauce. Try roasting your local or home-grown tomatoes, garlic and onions in the oven with olive oil and whatever fresh herbs you have on hand. (I got this idea from a friend who is also a “localvore.”) Add salt and pepper and roast in a 400 degree oven for about an . . . → Read More: Lasagna from scratch, locally

Making Cheese

By Eliot, on June 5th, 2010%

Another valuable thing we learned from Animal, Vegetable, Miracle was how easy it is to make our own cheese. Who knew?

We haven’t gotten really extravagant in our cheese making, but we have made pounds of mozzarella and some ricotta. Using both of these homemade cheeses makes an out-of-this-world lasagna. (Especially when you make your . . . → Read More: Making Cheese

Thinking about peas (again)…

By Eliot, on June 1st, 2010%

I had some shelled peas that I needed to use tonight. I perused the Internet for fresh peas recipes and found some good ones at www.bhg.com. But, a lot of these recipes were for snow peas and I needed a recipe for shelled ones. Then it hit me! I usually throw frozen peas into Spaghetti . . . → Read More: Thinking about peas (again)…
